ATTEMPTED ASSASSINATION.
SIR. benjamin the Victim OF Most Cowarciy
Assault Saturday Night.

Saturday evening about 0 o'clock SIS Mr.
Benjamin, a resident of North Fifth avenue,
was going home he was the victim of a
most cowardly attack.
He had been at the postoffice and as it was
growing late wished TO make a short cut to
his home, SO instead Of going out to Fifth,
ne started to pass over the premises OF DR..
Rurleigh He was in the rear of the stable
on this gentleman's property when
man came up from behind
struck him a fearful blow on the left
jaw and Knocked him to the ground. Ee
attempted to arise and was struck second
time. Mr. Benjamin's cries brought out a
dog at whose barking the assailant ran away
Mr. Benjamin weak and bleeding from the
wounds made his way to grocery near by.
His jaw was broken and he was suffering in
tense pain. Here his wounds were dressed
and he assisted to his home.
Mr.. Benjamin thinks the assault made up
on him was intended for some one else, either
in the spirit of revenge or with the intention
of robbery He had but fifteen cents upon
his person and this was not taken
He saw his assailant cross the street from
the corner near the grocery as he started
through the lots, and thinks he could easily
recognize him should he see him again. He
saws he was tall man, wore cap and darS
clothes, had mustache and goatee. 1t was
not known with what the assault was made
Sunday morning, however, a large bone was
found beside the cap of the injured man neal
where the attack was made, and this, 1t Il
supposed was the weapon used.

was out of employment at the time of
the theft, hungry and completely dis
heartened. Seeing the door open he
had stolen the articles. Previously he
had led an honest life, and the thought
OF his fall had driven him to seek for
giveness.
"After sympathizing with him and
giving him good advice for a few min
utes, Mr.. Beecher asked:
Now, what do you intend to do
"'I thought would get some brush
es, neckties and little articles and ped
die them around

and a basket. Have you money to

had to come to you for forgiveness,

$40 bill from his pocket and per-
suaded the man to take it. Then with
few words of good advice conducted
him to the door.

to the startling prospect of only 4,000,-
600 more years-hardly time enough
to realize the blessings of "refOrm
within the party" Really there ought
to be something done with these sci
entific men. If there is anything they
delight in it is in destroying the COM
fort of their neighbors. You never
hear of anything being made to ap-
pear more beautiful, healthful, or
pleasing by them. 1t is always some
thing revolving. They rub their hands
with suppressed glee when telling you
that each drop of water is filled with
loathsome reptiles and hideous wrig-
Cling things; that drop of vinegar is
a whole menagerie condensed; that the
food we eat is alive with minute ver-
min, and the very air we breathe of
death dealing germs. And now one
of them has struck upon the inspiring
idea that the world will come to an
end at IL certain time that in fact we
are doomed after the lapse of 5,OOO,OOO
years. Why a man cannot be scien-
fist and be pleasant also is something
that nobody can understand. They
are the most malicious people on earth.
And as for Sir William Thompson we
shall decline to give him credit for his
prophecy even if it comes true.

THE REMAINS OF LINCOLN.
Taken from a secret Resting Place.

The remains of President and Mrs
Lincoln were privately taken from
their secret resting place Thursday
morning and inferred in the north
vault of the Lincoln monument in OaI
Ridge cemetery near Springfield, Ill
Less than dozen persons, members
of the Lincoln monument association
and Lincoln guard of honor, were
present. For years the whereabouts
of the remains of the great president
and his wife had been kept secret
for fear that they would be stolen to
obtain huge ransom for their return
The actual attempt to carry off the
presidents body i'm 1876 was the cause
of the formation of the guard of honor
which organization secreted them and
Thursday surrendered the charge. The
secret grave was directly under the
north base of the Obelisk, about 80
| feet from the north entrance, but only
accessible through the south door. The
body of Mr.. Lincoln was in walnut
coffin lined with an airtight lead lin
ing about One-eighth of an inch thick.
The walnut coffin was in II cedar box
and the cedar box was inclOsed in II
pine box. Mrs. LincOln's remains were
similarly inclosed.
When the guards, with the help OF
IL few labOrers, had exhumed the collins
and the lid of the presidents was re-
moved his face was seen to be in a re-
markable state of preservation. Those
who stood around and had known Lin
coin when alive, easily discerned the
features. They were very distinct.
The silver plate on the cOffinlid was
l.. IL. n Il Il
lowing:
Abraham Lincoln. Sixteenth presi-
dent of the United States. Born Feb
ruary IL, 1909; died April Is, 1865.
While the remains of Mr.. Lincoln
were exposed to view Gen. Reese,
president of the guards of honor, turn
ed them over to the Lincoln mOnu-
ment association. A certificate was
signed by the members of the guards
of honor, certifying that the remains
in the coffin were those received from
the Lincoln monument association i'll
1873. The monument association made
out Il certificate signed by the MEM
bers for the records of the association,
declaring TIE remains to be those of
Abraham Lincoln. A plumber then
sealed the coffin up.
The collin was taken out by the
wOrkmen and carried around to the
vault on the north side. In the north
vault the floor had been taken up. A
hole oigiIL feet long by six wide and
81 deep bricked up and cemented, had
been prepared The prnsiao.-S's oUmn
was placed in this grave on the west
side. The coffin containing Mrs. Lin
coins remains, which had been brought
from the secret grave before the other
coffin, was then brought to the vault
and placed OH the east side of her hus-
band. A brick arch was built over the
collins. This was covered with &C.
ment, mixed with small, broken rock.
Two guards will he on duty at the
tomb until the cement becomes hard.
The marble sarcOphagus, in which the
public have supposed the remains to
be, is still in the vault.

The End of the World.
Baltimore NeaUs.

Sir William Thompson now furnishes
the cheerful scientific information that
we cannot reckon on more than 5000,
900 or 5000, 900 more years of sunlight
to come. "He thinks it would be rash
to assume that we had had more than
2O,OO0,000 years of sunlight in the
past" And we entirely agree with
him. Indeed, we think it rash to as
sumo that we have had more than l9,
999 $50. But what is a score of millions
to a SCIENTIST Mere bagatelle. The
fact, however, that interests US person
ally and individually is the grave as
sertion that we have only 5,000,OO0 or
6, 900, 900 of years more of sunlight be-
fore us. When we come to think that
for the last 100000 or perhaps 1000,
900 of those years the sun will be fail
ing to an extent calculated To make
this globe very chilly, if not too cold
for human habitation, it is plain that
the time allowed us may be shortened
to that extent aud we may be reduced

LOngfellOw's ssTrash."

A correspondent of the Critic tells OF
the ungracious reception of Longfel-
lows Excelsior on it's first appearance
at publishers Office, as follows:
The writer was then editor of the
Ladies' Companion, published by an
ignorant but conceited fellow with
whom Longfellow, then first trying
his wings, had engaged to furnish Oc-
casiOnal short poems at $I4 apiece
excelsior" fell into his hands and af-
ter an attempt to read it-he suffered
badly and had never heard of the word
Excelsior" which he pronounced eek
she'll shor,"-he sent it back with the
remark, 81 wonder if Longfellow thinks
he can gouge $I4 out of me for such a
piece of trash as that Pm not such IA
fool, can tell him, and I'll send it
back and give him piece of my mind. ("
Luckily the poet was not discouraged
by this rebuff but tried again, finding
more intelligent publisher.

How Beecher Gave Man $40 for
RObbing Him.
Brooklyn Eagle.


Mr.. Beecher was for a number OF
years a warm friend of Gen. James
McLeer, and when the latter was post
master paid frequent visits to his Of
flee. Mr.. Beecher was very benevO
lent, and had many experiences with
needy persons of IL religious stamp and
with impecunious clergymen. Gen.
McLeer was much interested in the re-
lief of INDECENT soldiers, and on this
mutual ground they frequently met in
the postmaster's Office and related
their experiences. In speaking of Mr..
Beecher yesterday afternoon Gen. Nc
Leer said:
81 remember we'll that Mr.. BeeclIer
came to my office, as was his wont,
and in few minutes we were deeply
engaged in story telling. He would
get off one, then would, and so the
thing was kept up. Finally, MIR.
Beecher said: yesterday a seedy in
dividual rang my doorbell and asked
to see me. Whoever answered the
ring tried to get him to go away, but
as he was so persistent he was finally
shown into room. When | came in
the man appeared most shamefaced
and with downcast eyes began to STAN

'Mr. Beecher-Mr. Beecher-'
"But | cannot tell the story in the
way Mr.. Beecher did. He had rare
gift in that respect. Mr.. Beecller said /:

"'Oh, you won't betray me, will you
Mr. Beecher, you won't betray me y
"'How can betray you p was the
answer. Il never saw You before and
know nothing about YOU
"rhe man continued his wailings
for some time, keeping his face
turned from the great preacher and
hopping his eyes almost ceaselessly.
| wish you could have seen Beecher
act the part as lie paced up and down
my office. That was one of the great
secrets of his story telling. Mr.. Beech
er said that he finally quieted the man,
saying that he would not betray him.
" Them said Mr.. Beecher, 'the sob
bling broke out with greater force than
ever for few moments, when the man
stammered Il have a great load on
